How to Find a Specific Word in a File on Linux. By default, most search tools look at file names, not file contents. However, the most famous GNU search program,  grep , will look inside files with the correct flags. Here we will show you how you can find specific word(s) in a file on Linux. Using grep to Find a Specific Word in a File By default, grep searches through the contents of files as well as their file names. It’s included on the majority of Linux systems and is generally identical across distros. That said, smaller or less powerful Linux boxes might prefer to run a different command, like  ack .

Basically, the kernel gets loaded along with some drivers. Programs, libraries, and other types of data are then read from disk to memory and executed or processed in some way by the processor. On a decent SSD, this is fast enough. In about ten to twenty seconds your desktop shows up. Since this time is acceptable, most users are not aware that this can be even faster. With Fast Startup active, your computer will boot in less than five seconds. But even though this feature is enabled by default, on some systems Windows will still go through

Free VPNs are available – some provide only limited data, while others come with free unlimited, the latter of which are mostly scams, even though they don’t cost you anything. These days you’ll find a free VPN service starting at no cost, but over time, what was a previously free offering converts to a subscription-model-based service or freemium. You can still get a free one that’ll reliably protect your privacy. In no particular order, here are the best free VPN service providers. Related :  Can Free VPN Be Trusted? 1.
